8 Things All Hair Stylists Can Relate To

Ridiculous client questions to awkward styling moments...Nothing fazes you anymore.

8. Ridiculous Client Questions

"Permanent hair color means it will stay forever, right?", "If the hair color touches my hands, will they burn?" Over the years, you’ve heard it all, and at this point there’s literally no question that can surprise you!

7. That Time You Really Messed Up Someone's Hair

Maybe you turned your sister's hair pink in cosmetology school or you grabbed an 8A tube when your client's natural base was a level 1. Whatever you did, your client ended up looking ridiculous and you'll never forget it.

6. Awkward Styling Moments

Sometimes clients think that you're a mind reader. "I want bangs, but I don't want bangs." and "Let's try something fun and different!" are not particularly helpful directions when you're behind the chair.

5. Clients That Try To Use Hairdresser Lingo

You appreciate when clients try to use hairdresser terminology to make your job easier, but you can't help but laugh when it becomes obvious that they have no idea what they're talking about. Ombre is not the same as balayage, but hey, they get an A for effort!

4. Being The "Trendy" Friend

As a hair stylist, you're constantly evolving with the styles and trends of the moment, so naturally you're the friend that's on speed dial for every outfit, hair, and makeup crisis. Your best friend has a date with a new guy? You better believe you're heading over for an emergency styling session.

3. Being A Product Master

2. Two Words: Product Overload

Every great stylist knows that professional products are a must have when creating amazing hairstyles. You say you have a few go-to's, but let's be real, you can't open your bathroom cabinet without causing an avalanche. The struggle is REAL.
